This is one page at poster size. Send the file to a sign maker or print shop, and ask for weatherproof material if it will hang outside. The pictures are drawn as shapes, so the poster can be printed larger and stay sharp.
To try it on ordinary paper first, print the Playground Board.

Use it together
Point to a picture as you say the word during everyday activities. Give the person time to respond in their own way; they do not have to copy you. Keep a core board nearby when using topic pages so words such as help, stop, and no stay available.
